Student Accessibility Coordinator - Georgetown University Law Center

Located in a historic neighborhood in the nation's capital, Georgetown offers rigorous academic programs, a global perspective, exciting ways to take advantage of Washington, D.C., and a commitment to social justice. Our community is a tight knit group of remarkable individuals interested in intellectual inquiry and making a difference in the world.

Requirements

Tradition. Innovation. A superb faculty. Hundreds of course offerings - and all of this just steps away from the Capitol and Supreme Court. Georgetown Law is an exceptional institution in an enviable location. Students come here from all over the world to study international or tax law, environmental or health care law (just a few of our specialties). They come here for our top-ranked clinics. Most of all, they come because this is the place where theory and practice meet. At Georgetown, students learn the law in the place where laws are made.

The Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) works in partnership with faculty, staff, and students to promote environments that are accessible, sustainable, and inclusive. OAS is responsible for ensuring that students with disabilities are granted reasonable accommodations in accordance with the ADA, Section 504, and University policy. Under the direct supervision of the Director, the Student Accessibility Coordinator will assist with the following:

Implement reasonable accommodations, collaborating with Law Center staff and outside vendors to implement accommodations.
Determine and implement reasonable accommodations to remove access barriers for students with disabilities in curricular and co-curricular environments.
Implement approved academic adjustments (e.g. exam modifications) for pregnant/parenting students and/or students navigating temporary medical conditions.
Share resources with students with disabilities requesting MPRE and/or Bar Exam accommodations.
Promote Universal Design for Learning through collaboration with faculty and staff across the Law Center.

Work Interactions
The Student Accessibility Coordinator will regularly consult with the OAS team to implement accommodations or modifications approved by the Associate Director of OAS, Assistant Director of OAS, or the Deputy Title IX Coordinator. The Student Accessibility Coordinator will interact with other departments on campus (e.g. Office of the Registrar, Facilities, Information Systems Technology) in order to implement accommodations. The Student Accessibility Coordinator is also responsible for coordinating with outside vendors who provide services for blind, deaf and other accommodated students. This will include scheduling and coordinating implementation of ASL Interpreters and CART Writers. The Student Accessibility Coordinator will also work directly with students by responding to requests for letters verifying accommodations approved by OAS.
